October 8, 2009 – Thursday 12:11am (Eastern Time) – Titusville, FL – Report submitted by Joe Hurston (Air Mobile Joe)

The massive and destructive earthquake that struck the Padang region of Indonesia last week has destroyed thousands of homes / buildings and cut off many villages from relief. Water is so important and yet so difficult to transport. Multiple villages have been completely destroyed by massive landslides. We are blessed that today (October 7, 2009) 2 Vortex Voyagers are being flown into Indonesia by “In His Image” ministry. Yet, we want to do so much more. Often, the only way water gets into areas is by water truck. 

On the other hand, if the roads have been destroyed, then the water trucks cannot pass and many will succumb the terrible effects of drinking contaminated water. Relief efforts are slowly reaching some of the effected areas, mainly in urban centers, but so many are just cut-off. This is where our portable water purifiers can be such a blessing. A relief team can carry the unit in by foot and begin purifying the most contaminated water instantly. The Voyager water purifier weighs a mere 20 pounds (about the same weight as 3 gallons of water). It sets up in just 1 minute and delivers enough drinking water for 400-500 people per day. The unit requires very little electricity. A car or truck battery will run the Voyager for about 2 days. We do do have solar panels available in locations where charging a battery is not possible. This photo taken in Pakistan is a Voyager in action following a devastating earthquake. 

Air Mobile has been to Indonesia multiple times, including immediately following the Tsunami of December 26, 2004. We have developed a tremendous love and respect for the Indonesian people. We know that hundreds of thousands are suffering. Many of the villages that have been destroyed by landslides are being declared mass graves and covered up. 

Please remember the Indonesian people in your prayer!! As I reported several days ago, Air Mobile sent a Voyager into the Philippines with Sister Mary Cabrini. We are awaiting the report on the conditions in the area where Sister Mary ministered. As soon as we hear from her, we will report her findings. Just several hours ago, an 8.3 earthquake occur ed off the coast of Australia. We have yet to hear of deaths or destruction. The last 2.5 weeks have been filled with catastrophic events. We must remember the victims in our prayer! Again, THANK YOU for taking the time to read our report. Please pray and ask our Lord what you can do to help us to help others.
